    Perception Engineer - San Francisco, United States - Chef Robotics

    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    Chef Robotics is on a mission to accelerate the advent of intelligent machines in the physical world. As the rise of LLMs like ChatGPT has shown, AI has the potential to drive immense change. However, we believe AI's biggest impact will be in the physical world, given industries like manufacturing, food, and transportation represent 90% of global GDP. We're starting with food, with a goal to put an intelligent robot in every commercial kitchen in the world. We have signed multiple multi-year contracts with various large food companies and we are growing fast. We're backed by investors like Kleiner Perkins, Construct, Bloomberg BETA and Promus Ventures. We have a great team, where you will be surrounded by talented engineers and tech leaders from companies like Cruise, Zoox, Google, Verb Surgical, Tesla, Nuro, Vicarious, Amazon Robotics, Strateos, Built Robotics, Facebook, Plenty, Yelp, and Microsoft.

    Chef is looking for a Perception Engineer to help us scale our fleet of robots. You will be making a large impact on a small team, developing the next generation of our perception system that will allow our robots to reliably serve millions of meals in production environments. Ideal candidates for this role will be well-versed in the latest in deep learning, while also possessing a strong foundation in classical computer vision and state estimation.
